The KSC1815 is manufactured in a plastic TO-92 case. When looking at the flat side with the leads pointed downward, the three leads emerging from the transistor are, from left to right, the emitter, collector, and base leads.
Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The KSC1815 transistor can have a current gain of 70 to 700. The gain of the KSC1815GR will be in the range from 200 to 400, for the KSC1815L it will be in the range from 350 to 700, for the KSC1815O it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the KSC1815Y it will be in the range from 120 to 240.The complementary PNP transistor to the KSC1815 is the KSA1015.The 2SC2712 (SOT-23), 2SC4116 (SOT-323), 2SC4738 (SOT-23), FJX945 (SOT-323), KTC3875 (SOT-23) and KTC3875S (SOT-23) is the SMD version of the KSC1815 transistor. These transistors are of the same type, have similar parameters and are designed for surface mounting.The 2SC1815 is the TO-92 version of the KSC1815.You can replace the KSC1815 with the 2SC1815, 2SC2458, 2SC3198, 2SC3199, 2SC3916, 2SC3917, 2SC3918, 2SC3919, 2SC3920, 2SC3921, 2SC3922, 2SC3923, C1815, C945, KSC945C, KTC3198 or KTC3199.
